Homemade Glue Dots

Aleene’s Tack-It Over & Over

I use this glue to make glue dots  , I  just squeeze out the size of drop  I will need onto label paper ( labels removed , shiny side ) , let dry over night  , it is that easy … a bottle may cost anywhere from 3.49 to 4.99 a bottle , you can make several sheets ( lots of dots or lines )  , and can make so many sizes , no more paying $5 bucks a box for each size you need

this will also make your cricut mat sticky again
mix equal amounts of glue to water , mix in an air tight container
clean your dirty mat with baby wipes  , let dry
with a clean sponge paint brush paint a thin layer of glue mixture onto mat making sure you do not get it on outer green frame ( your roller will get gummed up if it gets in the boarder )
let dry over night then condition your mat by tacking your hands over it so it wont be so sticky it tears your paper
you can do this several times , when you mat is so gunky it needs stripped to start all over use BREAK CLEANER and de gunk  it outside in well vented area , spray on and scrap off , wipe down and re glue
